Symmetry Can you Fold it?

What is Symmetry? • An object is symmetrical when there is a place where it can be folded and the sides line up perfectly. • Objects can have more than one line of symmetry. • Mirrors are often used to demonstrate symmetry making two sides of an objects identical.

What are the kinds of Symmetry? KINDS • Vertical • If folded on a vertical line the object is identical • Horizontal • If folded on a horizontal line the object is identical • Diagonal • If there is a diagonal line that makes the two shapes identical • Multiple • The object can be folded on more than one line.

Vertical If folded on a vertical line the object is identical

Horizontal If folded on a horizontal line the object is identical

Diagnol If there is a diagonal line that makes the two shapes identical

Multiple The object can be folded on more than one line.

Lets find the symmetry of these figures • 1. one line of symmetry and it is diagnol 1. 2. • 2. zero lines of symmetry
